Thank you to Dave Taylor for correcting my error. I was thinking the boulder was in the small town of Oregon, Wisconsin. In truth it's located in Oregon, Illinois. David L. is correct when he said Illinois.

Oregon, Wisconsin, and Oregon, Illinois, are roughly 70 miles apart.

Thank you, Roger.

I was right about the state, but wrong about the section of the state within Illinois. Oregon, Illinois is located in the northwestern section of the state.

On a different point, I wonder how many cities and towns in the United States are named after a different state. I choose not to Google this trivia question.

Right on Gene! That is correct! Once, on a trip to Boston, Mary attended a seance using the name "Mrs. Tundall" to avoid recognition. Abraham "appeared" before her during the seance. She then visited William Mumler's studio. Mumler was a spirit photographer. He produced a photograph of Mary with Abraham superimposed in the background with his hands on her shoulders. This photograph gave Mary a pleasant feeling that Abraham was hovering over her.

A Smithsonian article about Mumler from about a decade ago:
